Concerning a 2000 Mercury Sable's daylight always on safety headlights. The lights closely reremble the actual headlights so at night you don't know if your real headlights and tail lights are on. I have found myself driving at night without the real headlights on. Thus I had no tail lights on, I was driving with the daylight headlights only until I noticed that the dash lights were off.

Koons Lincoln-Mercury service technicians have stated that the emission light stays illuminated because vehicle has a defective fuel vapor transfer system. Air bag light was illuminated due to a defective left front air bag sensor. Brake lights inoperative due to a switch stop lamp and broken wire. This defect almost caused me to get rear-ended in stop and go traffic on baltimore's beltway.
